A beautiful apartment! Isabel is so friendly and courteous. The cats, dogs and horses are all so sweet. Specifically the sitting room and restaurant is so beautiful. Thank you very much!

Lena Germany

We absolutely loved the hosts - Isabel and her husband were the friendliest ever. And we would definitely recommend having breakfast, dinner AND dessert with them. Such an amazing spot to have good, traditional food. Isa and all her animals were great and we felt so welcome.

Kirsten Netherlands

The silence. You only hear the birds and the wind. Very kind and friendly owner, wants to help and inform for everything. Breakfast on any time you want. Really exiting.

J Netherlands

Isabel is a lovely, friendly, attentive host. Any time we needed anything, we just asked and it was quickly dealt with. The location was brilliant - really secluded and (mostly) quiet. There is a farm through the trees and you can hear people calling out as they work and animal noises, but we felt that added to the bucolic atmosphere. You have to drive out to a village, then down an unpaved road through a forest. This really gives you the feeling of being distant from the hustle and bustle of life. The White House is surrounded by trees and has one of the pools right next to it. In theory, guests at the other houses could use the pool, but they tended not to. The pool is small but big enough for splashing about with the kids. This house has a BBQ area, a veranda with hammock, a separate covered dining and relaxing area with another hammock. It was almost idyllic. It's also easy to get out and about, with Aveiro 30 mins drive away, and supermarkets nearby.

Por lo demás, el sitio precioso, con mucha naturaleza, tranquilo, Isabel la dueña, muy amable y encantadora. La piscina perfecta y el restaurante sala de juegos, con todo detalle y muy vintage. Cenamos una noche y la comida riquisima!

Fomos passar um fim de semana em família, com a certeza que iremos regressar. Perfeito, o local é fenomenal, líndissimo e a simpatia e amabilidade dos anfitriões superou as expetativas. Ideal para a uma fuga do ambiente citadino, onde reina a paz, tranquilidade e contato direto com a natureza.

Isabel, Afonso and Carlota

This property was my parents' week-end refuge spot . I moved here because of my children,19 years ago. Living in a Green Protected Area, almost without neighbors, in the middle of nowhere is a permanent adventure! Here we have a simple, quiet & lovely life. We <3 it. We have 2 pools, bikes, a nice restaurant where you can play tennis table, football in, read, listen to some music, drink a glass of wine...

I'm Isabel, 56,,2 kids (my son is an EasyJet cabin crew manager, he lives in Porto but he is always here ;my daughter is a flight attendant and she lives in Lisbon but she comes home whenever she is free to do it) my husband Paulo, a great companion and a nice chef! .We are easy going and nice people.We love and we have lots of pets! We enjoy knowing people from other countries and our hobby is to travel around the world. We are against all kind of discrimination!So, if you do not like nature, animals or discriminate people (it does not matter the reason) please do not come!

Vale da Silva Homes/Villas are located on a green protected area. It is a farm with several private little villas and bungalows. Here you can relax from the stressed city days in an rural environment. In the small villages you have anything you need. Aveiro is 12 km away, Agueda 10 km and Albergaria-a-Velha 10 km as well. Lots to visit nearby.

      Not really 'didn't like' but could be improved or you need to be aware of. The house was in reasonable, clean condition. I wouldn't call it luxury though. Some of the facilities, like the kitchen cupboards, had a nice, quirky authentic feel. Some of the facilities, pans, bedding etc were fine but could be higher quality for the price we paid. We ended up buying a couple of proper pillows as the small, synthetic ones were very uncomfortable for us. A trade-off for the secluded location is that the house has a sceptic tank, which became full while we were there, meaning the bathroom facilities started to back up. The hosts quickly called the truck to empty it but it was a bit disconcerting when it started happening and we didn't know why. Maybe better to warn guests when they arrive? We would have preferred more, brighter lighting options in the kitchen and on the big outside dining area but that could be personal taste - there are a few candle holders in the house. We only found one reasonable, basic restaurant nearby. We went into a couple and found them rather uninviting. But Aveiro is close and has more options.

      Isabel is a lovely, friendly, attentive host. Any time we needed anything, we just asked and it was quickly dealt with. The location was brilliant - really secluded and (mostly) quiet. There is a farm through the trees and you can hear people calling out as they work and animal noises, but we felt that added to the bucolic atmosphere. You have to drive out to a village, then down an unpaved road through a forest. This really gives you the feeling of being distant from the hustle and bustle of life. The White House is surrounded by trees and has one of the pools right next to it. In theory, guests at the other houses could use the pool, but they tended not to. The pool is small but big enough for splashing about with the kids. This house has a BBQ area, a veranda with hammock, a separate covered dining and relaxing area with another hammock. It was almost idyllic. It's also easy to get out and about, with Aveiro 30 mins drive away, and supermarkets nearby.
